The figures in hrachets are comparative figures for 1948* NOTES, An outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease' in' February caused an almost complete cessation of slaughtering for 3 weeks. Only one case of Cysticerous Bovis has been discovered during the year but numerous cases have been reported in various parts of the country, and it would seem that the parasite has-now become established again. Efficient Meat Inspection is probably the best way of stamping out this parasite. Losses of Liver caused by the Liver Fluke (Dlstoma Hepatlcum) remain at a deplorably high level). In 1939 when Dlss did not supply such a wide area as it does now 2,213 Pigs were slaughtered as against 290 in I949. Comment is superfluous. The number of Calves slaughtered is still too high although showing a substantial reduction on the previous year. I would like to express thanks to Mr.J.A.Smith (Slaughter- house Manager) for his willing co-operation and unfailing courtesy. CONDEMEBD CANNED & OTHER FOODSTUFFS. There are:- Milk 183 tins.
